[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
It's no eternal mystery
A E
You don't need a hard-earned clue
B
Why some men do their damndest when half-a-damn would do
E
There's a lifetime in the distance
A B
And it's filled with love and gold
E B E
And I'll find it yet if I may be so bold
E
Yeah, some men do the congaroo
A E
And some men do the wheel
B
Some'll do most anything to hide the way they feel
E
And some like givin' orders
A B
And some like to be told
E B E
But I'll make my way if I may be so bold
[Chorus 1]
A
Bold enough to make a difference
E
Bold enough to say I care
Bold enough to keep on trying
B
Even when the will's not there
E
There's a whole world out there waitin'
A
Full of stories to be told
E
And I'll heed the call and tell 'em all
B E
If I may be so bold
[Verse 2]
E
The boys were emptying their glasses
A E
As the true believers will
B
For what I guess these days passes for a good time or a thrill
E
And they're tryin' hard to convince you
A E
But I don't believe you're sold
E B E
So I'll step right up if I may be so bold
[Chorus 2]
A
Bold enough to make a difference
E
Bold enough to say I care
Bold enough to keep on trying
B
Even when the will's not there
E
There's a whole world out there waitin'
A
Full of stories to be told
E
And I'll heed the call and I'll live 'em all
B E
If I may be so bold
[Verse 3]
E
I have stumbled 'round these country towns
A E
And I've swallowed up the sea
E B
I've wrestled with the question of just who I aim to be
E
Been dealt hands I had to laugh at
A
And some hands I'd like to fold
E B E
But I'll play 'em all, if I may be so bold
[Chorus 3]
A
Bold enough to not surrender
E
Bold enough to give a damn
Bold enough to keep on movin'
B
Or to stay right where I am
E
There's a whole world out there waitin'
A E
Full of stories to be told
E
And I'll heed the call and I'll tell 'em all
B E
If I may be so bold
E B Em7
Yeah I'll tell 'em all, if I may be so bold
